Moab

Thursday, Friday and Saturday Platinum took us to Moab for a managers retreat. It was great getting away for a few days from the stress of it all (mostly) and we had a really good time.
Started the whole thing with lunch with friends, then checked in to our hotel at The Red Cliffs Lodge, check it out: http://www.redcliffslodge.com/. Then bowling with the group. I bowled more gutter balls then I think I ever have ... oh well, give them something to laugh at. We had dinner and then Matt Townsend spoke about relationships. The next day we woke for breakfast. Then on to Jeeping. We did Hell's Revenge, Fins & Things, and Potato Salad. Our jeep was really nice and seemed to handle everything well. I even drove for Fins & Things. All four tires weren't on the ground the whole time, I didn't roll the jeep and no one got hurt. Dinner Friday night felt late, even though it was at 7. After we all played Bunco and had a big bond fire where we roasted marshmallows and made smores. Gentry and I even toilet papered our assistant managers rooms while they were at the bond fire. Saturday was a day full of meetings. Trainings for the guys and the wives. It was fun to get together with the woman and talk about what we can expect and idea's on how to have a successful summer. Then we all got together again and had a couple more meetings. I love Platinum! We then headed to Monticello to spend time with my in laws. For the 3rd hour block of church they talked about their emergency preparedness plan. They talked about what kind of emergencies could happen and what everyone need to be prepared with. I know Kevin and Robin are prepared for just about anything. Gentry teased them that our plan is to have enough gas to get to Monticello to stay with them.
Even with all the fun we had, the very best part of the weekend was when we were told that a certain couple was going to go with us for the summer. I can't wait to spend May-Sept with some of my best friends! Come summer, come.

Moab was such a blast! Sorry we stressed you out a bit though! We can't wait for summer either! I wish we could just blaze past all this getting ready stuff (not skip it, just have it done with already!) and get to Seattle! Love you guys!

Hey April.. Jonathon has been trying to get a hold of Gentry for a few days now.. If you get a chance can you have him call Jonathon! Thank you. That's awesome that you guys got to go to Moab!

Sounds like a ton of fun for a work retreat! Glad you guys had a good time, and you didn't smash up the jeep :)

I love the Jeep safari. I was in a jeep once when my friend rolled on Potato salad. Scary. Seems like you had a great time.

What a fun little get away. I loved that you and Gentry Tee Peed (sorry for the spelling) your managers rooms. Hope they got a kick out of that!
